Abstract: A circular roller clamp assembly includes a semi-circular housing configured to receive a portion of an IV tube and a roller coupled to an arm, the roller configured to be movably received by a guide groove disposed in the semi-circular housing. The roller clamp assembly is configured to regulate a flow rate of fluid flowing through the IV tube based on engagement of the roller with the IV tube via circumferential movement of the roller along the guide groove. IV sets with circular roller clamp assemblies and methods of operating circular roller clamp assemblies are also provided.
